Christine’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Midnight Library (The Midnight World, #1)

The Midnight Library (The Midnight World, #1) by Matt Haig

1 highlight

What sometimes feels like a trap is actually just a trick of the mind.

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”
― Meša Selimović
